Back to the Grindstone Tomorrow

Alright I've taken a couple days off, and if you include a lot fewer posts last week than usual, it's been more than a couple days. Fantasy football is just a few weeks away, and most of my free time has been spent making my player-lists, and doing related research. The sucky part is I found out last night I have the last pick. Yeah, I know, it's good and bad, but I had hoped for pick 3 through 5 or somewhere in there.

I've also been enjoying these Olympic Games more than I usually do, too.

Anyway I'll be resuming usual posts tomorrow! Thanks for visiting!

San Antonio 2012 Summer League Roster

- in case you wondered..

Here's an article about them..

Speed Isn't Everything

...not when evaluating QBs, but this is pretty impressive from Mr. RG3:

I've actually done this before, which means someone's probably also done it to me.

No Gloom Here

The final sentence in a Spurs Nation article titled "Sobering SI story predicts gloom for Spurs after Memphis series loss" goes as follows:


"...Does Spurs Nation believe the rest of the country has been too quick in writing the obituary for the Spurs’ dynasty?"


Of course they have. The only issue with our roster is Richard Jefferson... SIGH!

We are a couple of young, athletic 6'7"-6"9" guys from a perfect roster. Tim's got another year or two. Splitter, Neal, Anderson, and Blair will all be better next season. And of course, Da'Sean Butler is a perfect 6'7" compliment to step in and contribute some sweet defense and athleticism.

Sign a middle-of-the-road big man to back up Tim, Tiago, and DeJuan.. and it's all complete.

No doubt in my mind this team will be fine for a while.

Thanks Clarence!

Led Zeppelin Plagiarism

Part I:


Part II:


Part III:


First off, the Youtube user who created these, clashboy1977, for some reason repeats a few songs from part 1 in parts 2 & 3. No biggy, I say, but why beat a dead horse?

Secondly, you cannot copyright a chord, nor a chord progression. A set of lyrics, however is a totally different animal. While most of these are truly obvious cases of musical plagiarism, there are a few (about 3-4) that I disagree with. Music, "riffs," and chord progressions can contain tiny subtle differences, and in all legality would be considered different.

The more pressing question is if they were going to blatantly steal material from so many past blues artists, why didn't they just credit them in the sleeve? Who knows. Lots of these issues were settled out of court, and surely Zeppelin paid dearly, but could've alleviated any wrongdoing by simply giving these original artists some much deserved credit!

Sundays

You know Sundays are usually a day off from/for most things. Most people are planning some of the most important things that need to get done for the upcoming week - at home - doing what they usually do on Sundays. Sometimes it's an extension of what they did on Saturday, or even a part of the whole plan for the weekend. Sometimes this plan involves being away from home.

But it's always true that there are a lot of places & businesses closed for a lot of the day. There's no mail. You get a lot fewer emails, so checking email takes no time at all. Fewer people are on Facebook, because well, there are fewer people on Facebook. Except for maybe an hour of the day. The "primetime" of the weekend? At least of Sunday. The evening provides the catch-up most people need.

A lot more websites don't publish any new content, compared with what most of them post all 6 other days of the week.

Of all of the worst 2-dozen hourly segments of TV broadcasting, probably more than half of them occur on Sundays. (4am to 5am 7 times is big too, but that's a different post.) Think about it. This is not to mention re-runs & infomercials, and even less important news!

City traffic is always the best on Sundays. Non-city traffic can be rough on Sundays because everyone who'd be driving around in the city during the week, they're all driving around somewhere else - on Sundays.

So for most of the year, Sundays are really the "least important" day (or better stated the most "laid back" day) of the week. And it should be. A ton of people commit several hours of their week for church.. A lot commit serious time to be with family or significant others.. on Sundays. There's a lot of golf tournaments having their final rounds, but golf's unique in that each week throughout 9 months of the year, it always peaks on Sundays.

So even when you might be loving your Sundays because of a lot of what I've just said, things change and now you may love Sundays for a different reason. Suddenly come late August or so, Sunday is now the "most important" day of the week. The day will now matter a whole lot more compared with other days of the week. OK wait..

The next 23 or so weeks is gonna kinda revolve around FOOTBALL. Yeah, when you're a big football fan, and routinely play fantasy football each year, the week changes a little bit! I love it.

Saturday is now the day that used to be Sunday.
